Better rapper: Kendrick Lamar vs Lupe Fiasco

[TonyDubbz]

Kendrick outchea winnin right now.

 

[_Goldie_]

And to add on to my point, K.dot is artistically better aswell. To me , his artistry is what seperates him from the rest. Kdot doesnt only have ill 16s, his chorus´ and hooks are crazy, on some 70s funk /outkast / Erykah Badu shit..

Exhibit A:

Lupe, still can't stand Kendrick's voice and imo Lupe's wit and ability to extend metaphors >>>>>>>>Kendrick. I'm more of a fan of rappers who are witty and nice with the double etandres. Lupe is much more entertaining too

LOL at Kendrick appealing to more people, what Lupe has 4 gold albums, i bet you Kendrick don't see anywhere near a gold album in his career.

 

[And_So_It_Burns]

Lupe...I think F&L are better than anything in K.dots catalog. Not to mention I think he's arguably the best emcee of our generation

Just because you think it's boring doesn't it is.

Like are you serious?

Y'all like Kendrick more because of his productions.

That's what an opinion is so if a person says they think he is boring then to that person he is Music is subjective but to those who feel he is which is a lotta people they just giving their thoughts on why they don't like Lupes music.

Can't speak for anyone else but i like Kendrick cos he is emotional and personal but is entertaining while making introspective Music and that is the hardest thing to do and what makes people like your music and for the fact he reminds me alot of my fave Rapper in this regard

Exhibit A:

I been saying forever that what seperates an Artist and good Song Writer from a Rapper is someone who crafts their own Hooks mostly and makes them real catchy rather than just get R&B features to do their Hooks for them in most their music. I been saying this from day 1

Crafting your own Hook Writting it and Performing it yourself wether you Sing or Harmonize or just rhyme it but actually making it catchy is a really hard skill

The great Artists do that while also having great Lyrics in their Verses that express emotion and personal everyday regular life type issues in the Lyrics

 

[High Revolutionary]

I think Good kid maad city has a decent chance of going gold.

 

[Trillaaaaaa]

Name me ONE banger Loopy has ever made

Just one

Just one banger...name it

 

[Disciplined InSight]

No contest...Lupe. But Kendrick is that dude making noise now.

 

[silverfoxx]

Kendrick>Lupe RIGHT NOW.

Ima sucker for hunger passionate raps. Kendrick hard passionate flow is just beating current Lupe. FnL2 was nice, but lupe flow is just to one dimensial and gets stale. Also Lupe doesn't sound as hungry or focus as he was on the cool/FnL.

How FnL2 will promoted as a serious, all black, powerful statement album, Lupe flow and and the songs didn't live up to the hype. Same as live from the underground.

I fucks with TDE cause the passion and creativity toward their music.

Dellusional post, if Big Sean, Wale,etc aren't gold with huge singles, then Kendrick doesn't stand a chance.

 

[bkkbully]

Currently - Kendrick

If we're talking overrall - LUPE

Wale did go gold tho, and neither of his singles were huge..we're in a time where loyal fanbases means more than a huge singles as far as record sales (Cudi, Cole, Lupe etc)

I really think you're underestimating Kendrick's fanbase..I guess we'll find out soon enough tho

 

[unspoken_respect]

And so the plot thickens.

Exactly what you just said Usmarine was repeatuing about J Cole almost everyday giving those very same examples so the orony is hillarious but this a wanabee Lawyer wannabe Beyonce we talking about here

He says things only when they suit his agenda dude is a walking contradiction dude i mean LOVES and when i say LOVES i mean it in the highest possible way LOVES Jay Z like that man is his partner or something it's creepy

Super Star which actually went plat. And was one of the most remixed songs that year

 

[Like Water]

This is one of the most difficult questions I've been trying to answer for the last few days. Lupe is in my top 10, albeit he is my number 10, and I've always regarded him as one of the best lyricists of all time and his body of work cannot be denied. However, Kendrick has the ability to usurp him if he shows that he has staying power.

Right now, Kendrick's the better artist. Overall, Lupe wins. And GKMC is like the love child of the flick Boyz N The Hood, Aquemini, and Illmatic. Which, in my eyes, is >>> F&L.
